The Spa at The Alexis Royal Sonesta Hotel Seattle

"Original works selected by Seattle Art Museum curators add to the distinctive feel; Frette linens, in-room spa treatments, and complimentary Wi-Fi throughout are just a few of the other amenities"

"Evening wine tasting, 24-hour room service, Internet access, steam and fitness room, full day spa, and the Bookstore Bar are some of the highlights"

"Plush decor at this top-notch hotel, as well as a spa and steam room, just south of Pike Place Market"

"The 109 accommodations include specialty suites, from the spacious Fireplace Suite to the lavish Spa Suite"

"Besides being pet-friendly (they'll lend you a "designer doggie bed"), special amenities include complementary shoe shine, a private steam room, and in-room spa treatments"

"In a "prime location" halfway between Pike Place Market and Pioneer Square, this "elegant" Downtown Kimpton boutique is "all about artistry", from its "beautiful" accommodations (some units feature artwork handpicked by a curator at the Seattle Art Museum) to the "outstanding" staff that'll make "you feel cherished"; an Aveda spa, free evening wine tastings and a bar that's "the place to be" (with an extensive whiskey library) help make it an "oasis away from home"

"On the waterfront: visit the very cool, interactive (touch a sea anemone!) Seattle Aquarium, dodge the seagulls to eat the world famous clam chowder at Ivar’s and knock back a dozen spankin’ fresh oysters at Elliott’s Oyster House"

"Each morning, guests receive newspapers, and each night, upon request, chocolates come with turndown"
